It whould be nice to see this naming scheme in NetBSD too but ...
without bsdlabels at all :-) IMHO on x86 PCs it is much easier to use
device names that are close to PC's native MBR scheme, i.e.
/dev/[r]disk<N>partition<M> like OSes running PC does (Linux, Windows etc).
Is this possible in NetBSD or is it in TODO?
P.S. Is there any HOWTO about wedges for dummies? :) This question
was asked several times but I never saw an answer.
